One of the Most Important feature in iPhone4s is the voice controlled "Intelligent Assistant that can complete tasks based on natural language. |
Allaying any doubts that the iPhone 4S will be a
big seller, Apple announced pre-orders for the new model topped 1 million in 24
hours, which breaks the previous single-day record of 600,000 for the iPhone 4.
In a press release posted on Apple.com — the
company’s first public statement since Steve Jobs’s death — Philip Schiller,
Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, said he was
“blown away” by the consumer response to the iPhone 4S.
Apple began taking pre-orders on the phone on
Friday, three days after the company introduced it in a press conference and
two days after Jobs died. The iPhone 4S will go on sale in the U.S. at 8 a.m.
local time on Friday, Oct. 14. The phone comes in black and white and will be
available for a suggested retail price of $199 for the 16 GB model, $299 for
the 32 GB version and $399 for the 64 GB model.
The strong pre-orders come after some, who
expected an iPhone 5, were underwhelmed by Apple’s iPhone 4S announcement.
However, Apple’s deviation from its usual iPhone shipping schedule — new phones
have been announced every summer since 2007 until now — has created pent-up
demand for the device.
